<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2471570, member: 76086&quot;]Sometimes people get caught up in the inscriptions rather than the iconography and the overall message.&nbsp; Both of these representations are Annona.&nbsp; One specifically spelled out, but the other with the legend &quot;PROVIDENTIA&quot;.&nbsp; The first is a specific message, the second perhaps a bit more difficult to understand to our modern English speaking minds.&nbsp; However, it is fortunate (Latin again) that Providentia (or providence) has roughly the same meaning now as then.&nbsp; In this case, the concept of providence is being conveyed as Annona.&nbsp; Not surprising as all great cultures only exist as long as they can eat and their stomachs are full.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
